I cant see that being too much of a problem. Nothing is 100% though

I always see young fronts in tanks with young mbuna and they look fine. However, Ive never seen anyone succesfully keep them as adults with mbuna. What do you recommend keeping fronts with in order for them to thrive and hopefully breed? My thoughts would be a species only tank OR a tank of...

thanks for all the replies :D dont wanna drag this post on but hmmm....i was advised against t duboisi in my proposed tank... but ignoring the reasons given (they are hard to keep, can mutilate eachother very quickly) wouldnt they actually be quite a good robust fish (in the aggressive sense) to...

ill get straight to work on the photos then. thanks for the replies everyone! i must say, at the moment its very understocked. but i currently have auratus AND elongatus and id say my worst fish in terms of aggression to OTHERS are my yellow tailed aceis.

my tank is 7 and a half feet long and has more hiding places/caves than ive got hairs on my chest. you really think they are that bad? i was planning on a group of 5..... thanks for the info all the same :)

oh ok. i heard they are very aggresive. maybe only towards their own species then? im planning on adding some yellow tailed aceis, ps flavus, demasonis, crabros, johannis affras and greshakeis. this all sound ok? :)

can t. duboisi be kept with mbunas? more precise. small aggressive mbunas such as demasoni and elongatus. im slowly stocking my new mbuna tank up with young fish of a few species. got auratus, elongatus, careleus, maylandi barlowi. would some duboisis be fine? my tank is 90"x22"x16"

I usually like to throw a spanner into the works with regards to what discus can be kept with, but not this time. Maybe if your discus were adults, your oscars were an inch long, and your tank was ten feet long, then maybe yes :) I succesfully keep uarus and gold severums with discus no...

IMO in a large enough tank you could have angels with things such as firemouths and convicts. in a smaller tank this would maybe not be so clever. the larger the tank, the more you can get away with. ive got a 6 foot tank with discus, gold severums, uarus, a huge featherfin syno and a large pair...

Tiger barbs are never going to harass any sort of cichlid you have mentioned previously, except for delicate species such as angels and discus. i can assure you they will not touch the fish you have mentioned. cant believe one of the replies to this thread was hinting at that? dont be crazy. the...

any1 know?

Hey guys. Was at my lfs today buying some suplies. Picked up a breeding pair of Kribs and some nice angels. Whilst I was there I noticed in the corner of my eye a white/pink/orange type looking fish, definately a cichlid. During a conversation I was having with the owner, I asked what it was and...

the second definately is steindachneri. 100% not sure about the first

I would treat them if I was you. I use Flunebol 15 (spelling correct??) everytime I aqquire new discus. Its not expensive, doesnt bother the fish but gives peace of mind.

Hard to say without a pic. I have the exact same problem with regards to taking photos. Does your camera have an option to take small video clips? If so do that, then upload them to google video and post the link. Thats what I do
